I have been thinking since I lost my boy last week that I would probably look for another male in the future. I still have my 12 year old girl and am a little hesitant to bring a puppy into our lives. Not even certain how it would upset her routine to bring a new dog into the house. I'm getting into that age group where a puppy is not at the top of the list. I still work four days a week and am beyond the stage where I can juggle a litter and work full time. Oh, for the good old days!! I still have the large fenced in area. Send me pictures, Pat, and I'll think about it some more. The weight and dermatitis can be fixed. Sounds as though he is sound in the head.
